FAQ # 201

QUESTION  201 :  "In Isaiah 9:6 the Bible says His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. Each one of these appellations would be labeled a title by Jesus Only interpreters, but Isaiah's text calls each one a name. This is also the one verse of Scripture in the entirety of God's Word where Jesus Christ is called the Father; and still, somehow, these people are blinded to the fact that the verse actually disproves their theory concerning titles and names, simply because it gives the name of ‘Father’ to Jesus. So I simply ask a question, according to Isaiah, isn't ‘Wonderful’ a name? Isn't ‘Prince of Peace’ a name?" - Jimmy Swaggart

I like this, it clearly states that "His name shall be called....," not his name is; His name would be called all the appellations mentioned in Isaiah 9 and not a singular word. In other words, his literal name and estate shall mean Wonderful, Mighty God, Prince of Peace. That’s why again it states that his name shall be called Emmanuel (Isa 7:14), but was his name Emmanuel? No. His name is Jesus (Yahoshua), but Emmanuel is the meaning of him or what he is, GOD with us! Not any other being, but the one God incarnated. That is the reason Jesus or Yahoshua literally means *Yahovah Savior; the same Yahovah now as God our savior.

For example, “she shall be called Woman” (Gen 2:23) in reference to the first woman created. However, that was not her name, her name was Eve. But her estate and the meaning of being called woman was because “she was taken out of Man” (Gen 2:23). Again, take this verse, “Adam gave names to all cattle” (Gen 2:20). Cattle isn’t the name, but what the estate or specie is. You had cows, heifers, buffalos and other cattles. Like how you have Jane, Suzan, Megan and other women. Similarly, you have other so-called fathers, saviors, wonders and peacemakers, namely Krishna, Buddha, Muhammad and others. But “one is your father" (Matt 23:9) and his name is Yahoshua (Jesus) or Yahovah Savior. The same Yahovah, only as a personal Lord and savior. So when Isaiah 9:6 said he shall be called “Wonderful and Counsellor.” It means the person coming is not just wonderful or a counselor, but wonder itself and counsel itself. That’s the reason before the words ‘mighty God’, ‘everlasting Father’ and ‘Prince of Peace’ you have the word “The.” Not any ‘mighty God’ or any ‘everlasting Father’ or ‘Prince of peace’, but the one and only Mighty God, the one and only Father and the one and only Prince of peace.

Answer Notes: 1. Though there is no noticeable difference between “his name shall be called…” (Isa 9:6) and “thou shalt call his name…” (Matt 1:21), the latter clearly meant his literal name shall mean and the former obviously meant various appellations to which he would be referred to as, hence the meaning of his estate.

2. * denotes, Yahovah here is the same reference given in name to Jehovah, but the proper pronunciation is Yahovah.
